“Amaron, Write the Things Whatsoever I Write”

Brant Gardner

Redaction: Amaron dispenses with the formulaic introduction and simply declares his authorship, specifying that it will be brief. Both this declaration and his actual text indicate that he wrote it all at a single sitting. His successor, Chemish, states that he produced his entry at a single sitting (v. 9), providing circumstantial evidence that Amaron did as well.
